Save the Haitian Rats!

Like most rats, I've have been very concerned about the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti. While I know what's happened to the people has been terrible, I'm also worried that no one is helping out the thousands of animals that have suffered because of this disaster.

To attempt to spur interest and do everything we can, the ladies and I have put together a care package of food and money to help Haitian animals (except the cats).

We sent Momma and Poppa to the store with a very specific list for our care package. They were nice enough to bring back some treats for us, but since we're volunteers, I don't think you can consider that a bribe.

Both organizations allow donors to give directly to animal welfare in Haiti.

My sisters and I would like to dedicate our efforts to the memory of PennyLane & Thelma. We encourage all of our friends, furry and otherwise, to at least take a look at what you can do for Haiti in this time of need.

We Are the Originals

Thelma

I'm Thelma. I was adopted June 16, 2008 and given to my Momma for her birthday. My birthday is March 13, 2008. I am mostly cream in color with a dark grey hood. My distinction in my hood is a cream "T" that covers my forehead. I love Peas and Cuddling. My sister's passing was super hard on me and it broke my heart. As much as I wanted to stay with Momma&Poppa and my new sisters, I was just too tuckered out. I said my goodbyes on January 21, 2010. I know my abrupt departure left everyone in shock and that I'll be dearly missed.

Penny Lane

I'm Penny. I was adopted on June 21, 2008 as a cuddle-mate for my dear friend Thelma. My birthday is March 26, 2008. I'm a light copper-colored Dumbo with a tuft of white on my forehead and belly. I love yogies and Peas and Cuddles, but mostly to be a Pirat(e) on Poppa's shoulder. I developed a mammary tumor and had to say my goodbyes on January 8, 2010. I know I'll be dearly missed.

Eleanor Rigby

I'm Eleanor. I was adopted on January 8, 2010 as a cagemate for Thelma. My birthday was September 30, 2009. I'm much younger than Thelma and think I might be driving her nuts. I like exploring and cuddling. When Momma lets me, I also like little bits of cookies.

Prudence

I'm dear Miss Prudence. I was born December 12, 2009. My RatMom and her Momma raised me until I was almost 5 weeks old. Momma & Poppa adopted me on January 13th, 2010. I'm mostly white with a mostly gray hood except for a little tuft of white above my eyes and a little gray spot on my neck. I'm adorables.

Lucy

I'm Miss Lucy, I like diamonds. I was born on December 12, 2009 and my RatMom and her Momma took great care of me and my siblings until we were almost 5 weeks old. Momma & Poppa adopted me on January 13, 2010 and I already have my spot in the manor. I'm white with a solid grey hood. I'm hoping Prudence doesn't lose her spot otherwise people will think we're twins!

Magill

I call myself Lil. I was born October 13th, 2009 and adopted by Momma&Poppa on Saturday, January 23rd, 2010. Poppa fell in love when I curled right up with him. Little did he know that I'm a trouble-maker and like to run like a speeding bullet. I'm a dumbo, mostly white with a black hood, but have a white stripe running from my nose all the way over my right eye to my back.
